Product of the Week: Swiftpoint GT

“Swiftpoint GT is the world’s first mouse with natural touch gestures.” In our world full of touch screens and tablets it can often get frustrating when you are working on a project and need the versatility of a mouse — Swiftpoint GT combines intuitive touch gestures with the precision and convenience of a mouse. The ability to utilize touch gestures with a natural finger and wrist action without having to touch the screen makes this product truly innovative.

If you are stumped about what gift to buy for the techie in your life this holiday season, this portable mouse might be just the solution. The Swiftpoing GT was voted as a 2015 CES Innovation Awards Best of Innovation Honoree in the computer peripherals product category.

From the Swiftpoint GT Kickstarter page:

Touch devices are great for consuming content but when it comes to editing or creating content they fall short. The GT changes all that. It improves productivity in Microsoft Word and Excel, as well as other office and content creation applications. You can now flick and pan straight to where you want to be in a long document or a wide spreadsheet.

Switching between click mode and touch mode is seamless and a huge benefit for users who like the ease of scrolling and being able to place the cursor in a precise position.

The GT is 30%-40% more efficient and more accurate than a touchpad (based on an industry-standard Fitts’ Law test). This helps you complete your work faster, and without the frustration and ergonomic issues typical of poorly designed low cost mice.
